As always, you can find the full printable recipe with complete instructions in the recipe card at the end of this post. Let’s take a look at what you’ll need…
white cake mix – You just need one box and I recommend you use your favorite brand. If you really want a ton of orange flavor, you could use and orange cake mix if you can find it.
orange jello – Make sure you get one of the three ounce boxes. This jello will provide a lot of the orange flavor in these cookies.
orange zest – I use about two tablespoons, or the zest from one orange. The orange zest adds a brightness to these cookies.
salted butter – Let the butter come to room temperature before using.
eggs – Just like with the butter, let the eggs come to room temperature before using. I used large eggs.
white chocolate chips – You’ll need one bag of chocolate chips, use the best quality you can. This is the vanilla component in the creamsicle flavor of these cookies.

How To Make Creamsicle Cookies
Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Combine Ingredients. Whisk together the white cake mix, orange gelatin powder and orange zest in a large bowl. Mix in the butter and eggs making sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Fold the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough.
Scoop and Form. Use a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the dough, roll the dough into a ball and place on the prepared cookie sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough making sure to leave about 2 inches between each ball.
Bake and Enjoy. Bake the cookies for 10 to 13 minutes or until the edges are set. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheet before removing to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
